Those managers would come in the Summer, not now though.
We sold Emerson Royal to those bums, should tell you all you need to know
I doubt very much that they'd love to. Levy would be a downside to what could be a great job.
It would be like quitting a stable job where you're performing well and are respected, to take a job paying more, but at a company that you know has a track record for screwing employees.
I'm not sure exactly why people deem us to be such a massive club, because we won a trophy 15 years ago? Because we have a new stadium?
We have pedigree from past success, but that was 60 years ago. But a big club....I'm not sure. We're a rich club, but we're not particularly successful, especially given our riches. We've had great players in the past, but no better than the Milans, Bayern, or even Ajax and Dortmund.
So what exactly makes up the massive club that managers would love to work at?
We have a recent track record of putting speed bumps in careers, of both players and managers.
The whole club needs an overhaul, because there just isn't a winning mentality. Even when Levy decides to spend money, the recruitment is beyond pathetic for the most part, every now and again we strike gold, like Bale and Modric, but they don't hang around. Which is weird considering what a huge club we are....

maybe an argument for atletico too, but thats about it. PSG is a weird one and as soon as them owners are gone so are they. would say its very close with juve too, they are far from the force they were decades ago. the lure of the premier league is huge for us.
if iraola is genuinely snubbing us then we are in trouble. its the next logic step in his managerial career.
Yeah but his last 3 jobs have seen him sacked inside his first season twice.
He went down with Newcastle (not his faukt) and brought them back up.
I have big doubts he would actually improve us at all tbh.
I don't quite know why you've got yourself in a tizz here.
I fucking hate Levy and ENIC and can quite clearly see that, despite any fiddling of the books by the Glazers, they're far more interested in actual success at playing football than the crooks in charge of Spurs.
I think any narrative that Iraola, Frank, Silva or Mckenna turn us down in the Summer is false and just being overly pessimistic. I think they'd be reluctant to leave mid-season and we'd be even more reluctant to pay the premium to get them mid-season hence why I've always been an advocate of giving Ange until May and then getting the right man in the Summer.
But this idea that they'd turn down Spurs to stay at their current role isn't reality. They'd all make the move. The only danger to losing out on them would be if other big clubs were in the market for them. But if the choice is either staying at Bournemouth/Brentford/Fulham/Ipswich or joining Spurs then they all make the move.

ALL 3 would come right now if we could agree the release with their clubs.
A year or two ago I would agree with you. But now I’m not so sure . You are on a hiding to nothing managing this club now. Your bank balance will improve but your CV won’t.
Spot on. All managers have egos and think they'll be the ones to handle Levy and bring success. End of that day as well its money so even if sacked after 18 months they get a big fat pay off. Nuno and Conte are proving being sacked here is hardly career ending. Competing against other wealthy clubs for them is a different matter but City, Arse, Chelsea, Liverpool and probably Utd and Newcastle wont be looking for new managers come summer so as far as the prem goes it will be a free field.
Not after a lower half of the table finish. The fact is you no longer have what Poch did at the club as a recent over shadowing. A large part of the fan base seem to be catatonic as we slip towards a relegation fight.
At the end of the day it almost feels like the life has been slowly sucked out of the club. That was why I backed Ange for as long as this season because it was fun after the first 10 games in the stadium there was a buzz. Now the stadium feels completely lifeless and for most the fan base (especially season ticket holders) it feels more of a chore to go. I also sold my tickets for the first time not because I couldn’t go to a match but because I knew we were going to get battered.
he wants to be a walking headline doesn't he? never stops telling anyone who still cares that he is this and that. Can't lose? If contract cut short does one get paid some part of the full contract? I bet he cannot believe someone with his 'pedigree' got the job in the first place? someone posted a Munn interview or something on here. It said 'they' lobbied for him? If he gets the tin tack, will all the new Aussie 'fans' that strangely worship him be gone too?

Bob would have loved this team as well...
Probably would have killed him even earlier tho
not a chance. He loved Spurs when they were cool.
That team was an attacking, cavalier, swashbuckling team. At it's best, that is exactly what we are like under Ange. Bob would've respected the stubbornness to stick to his principles as well. Bob was nothing if not stubborn and stoic when it came to what he believed.
agreed, go for iraola, if he turns you down you get silva or terzic! if they turn you down you look in the mirror and say maybe its time to sell and get out of here, im bang in trouble.
if hes put himself into a place where he cant get them managers then hes in big trouble and his stock in the club will be coming right down so best to get out.
This. Top6 club job is not available that often. And even when it is, those clubs usually goes abroad with next hirings.
Who was the last guy promoted from low/mid PL tier to Top6 club as manager? I think that was Nuno in 2021? Ahh and Potter to Chavs. You could count also Maresca but lets be honest, he was chosen strictly based on fact he has Pep connection.
Guys like Iraola, Frank, Silva know next chance to jump into top6 club in England won't happen again soon for them, so they won't risk waiting till summer. Its all about Levy paying the price.
Thank you
